Strange pain/burning in nipples.

I am 26 years old and I am also experiencing a burning sensation around both of my nipples. I have never experienced this before. I have a 6 year old son. The sensation has moved up to my collar bones as well. It feels like pepper burning my skin. What should I do?

I have a burning sensation in my right nipple. This started abou 3 weeks ago and my nipple and and surrounding area burns when I press over my nipple. I have no other systems, not pregnant and not going through the menopause. I am 41 years old. Please advise as I am worried.

Thanks

i have the burning and itching also. i got it maybe an hour after i showered. i am 14. it was when i was braless. this is the first time it hs happened and it is still burning from maybe 10ish. if i touch it it gets worse. my breasts are also warmer than normal.

I'm sorry that you're in pain and hope you get the help you need really soon. Please come back if you have questions and if we can help. Hopefully it's something minor and can be cleared up quickly!

Thanks Pat,

I will be making arrangement to seek professional help soon. I cant really say how long I have been dealing with this because i have gotten before but yesterday it was really bad, almost the whole entire day I was in pain.

Anon - How long have you been dealing with this? Breast pain can be caused by a number of things, including hormonal changes. Our breast pain page provides helpful information at https://www.empowher.com/condition/breast-pain

Breast burning and itching can also be an indicator of a very rare form of breast cancer known as Inflammatory Breast Cancer or IBC. You can learn more about IBC here: https://www.empowher.com/breast-cancer/content/inflammatory-breast-cancer

Since you've described the pain as "extreme" at times you need to be seen by a medical professional. It may turn out that this has a very simple cause and treatment, but it's important to get professional help to determine exactly what's causing this condition in your body. Will you be able to do this and let us know what you learn?

Take care,
Pat

Hi i have similar symptoms, itching burning on both nipples, sometimes its very extreme.It happened from time to time during the day and they almost seem to get hardened while the burning takes place. Im not getting my period since i got off it not soo long ago and i dont take medications or am i sexually active. I am 20 years old and when it started i was bra-less. What else could it be??

hi, my name is stephanie and i am eighteen years old. sometimes i have a burning or itching sensation in my right nipple. it burns to the touch when this happens and lasts just a little while. it has only happend a few times. i am not pregnant, never have been. i am taking oral contraceptives, i have been for 3 years now. there are lil lumps in that breast underneath my nipple which i asked a doc about and she said it was prolly fibrosystic and common for my age. it has only happend a few times but i am very scared. like the other girl it feels external like i said it burns to the touch after i starts burning. thankyou.
